Success in Mining.


The Leadyile Herald Democrat makes
the following sage remark in regard TO
the business Of mining: THE idea that
only the lucky ones can mine at a profit
is fallacy. Good judgment and capital
are the principal factors in successful
mining operations. Without these two
supports mining is indeed uphill work.
There is in this much that it would +
profitable for Eastern capitalists to study
carefully. st Louis has suffered a great
deal from speculations il. mining stocks
which have proved TO be worthless, or at
the best OF little value. ST. Louis men
bought stock. Colorado men do not buy
stock. They buy mines when they wish
TO invest their money in mining But be
fore they invest they learn something
about what it is they are buying They
unite good business Judgment with their
capital, and so they make money.
But very many Eastern mine investors
think that they must needs engage il
